McDermott in the past has been way too conservative and just gone into the locker room. He would’ve been killed if they ran the ball 3 straight times, accomplished nothing, punted anyway, and gave the ball right back to the Texans only having to run an out route instead of in the middle of the field
They had a chance to go one drive to get in FG position to steal a win.
The Texans clock management was 100% worse on the prior drive. They should’ve run the ball up the middle and called a timeout with 2 seconds left and kicked a walk off FG. Instead they tried to throw, stopped the clock, it was grounding, and they had to punt. THAT is inexcusable.
